General Qin

On the second day after the decisive battle between Qin and Yue, the weather was clear and the sun was just right, which provided a lot of convenience for the Qin army to clean the battlefield and hunt down the remaining enemies.

The military order issued by Zhao Tuo was to send generals such as Fan Kuai and Mei Yu to lead the Qin army and the Yue vassal army to clear out the Yue people fleeing in the mountains and forests, and at the same time announced the next policy towards Vietnam.

He who resists dies, and he who surrenders lives.

The Qin army defeated the main force of the Yue people and killed King Luo. The huge Luo Yue tribe turned into a ball of scattered sand in an instant. They lost their core leader and it was difficult to form a unified force in a short time.

If at this time, the Qin army implements a policy of massacre and does not give the Yue people a way to survive, it is very likely that they will be forced to unite again, and even a leader like an anti-Qin hero will appear, leading the Yue people to fight with the Qin army in the woods. If you fight guerrillas, you will be in trouble.

In Zhao Tuo's view, no matter what country or tribe, if there are people who can sacrifice their lives for righteousness, there are also people who cherish their own lives.

He decided to give the Yue people a way out to divide the enemy's power.

"The king of Luo Yue and Lao Kuda, the capital of Xiou, were both killed by our army, but A Tu Gu ran very fast. He is a good runner in escaping."

Zhao Tuo's eyes flashed with cold light as he thought about what he had achieved in this battle.

A butcher bone.

The leader of the South Vietnamese Tiger Tribe is a general under King Agus of South Vietnam. He is fierce and cunning. He is the kind of person who will turn around and run away whenever he sees something is wrong.

This man once helped Minyue resist the Qin army. Seeing that the situation was not good, he killed the Minyue king and fled without any help before the Qin army encircled him.

Atu Gu ran from Minyue to Nanyue, from Nanyue to Xi'ou, and from Xi'ou to Luoyue.

The means of escaping are excellent.

If it were any other Yue people, Zhao Tuo might not be interested, but Atu Gu cannibalizes people.

This guy had eaten Qin's envoys and caused a lot of trouble for the Qin army to conquer Baiyue. Zhao Tuo was determined to kill this man-eating demon.

"Whether it's a Qin or a Yue people, anyone who brings the head of A Tu as a tribute will be given a title, a reward of ten yi, or equivalent property in exchange."

Zhao Tuo issued a wanted order for A Tu Gu and other South Vietnamese remnants, and at the same time decided on the next strategic deployment, and then turned his attention to other aspects.

He shook the letter paper in his hand and looked at the words Han Xin wrote on it.

"Liu Yu, haha, what a great name!"

Zhao Tuo looked strange and sat in front of the case and wrote a letter.

After he put down his pen, he turned to look at Xia Houying who was standing beside him: "In this great defeat of the Yue people, all the armies have made meritorious deeds. Especially the military commander Han Xin and his generals were the most important. They first burned the city of King Luo Yue, and then killed King Luo on the road. , his department has made great contributions. Tomorrow I will lead the army to summon the meritorious soldiers who killed King Luo, and give them commendations and rewards to encourage the soldiers to work hard. This reward will not be delayed. Also, please send someone to give this letter to Han Junhou."

"Wei, I will go immediately to deliver the order."

Xia Houying accepted the order and took the letter written by Zhao Tuo with both hands, sealing it carefully with a curious look in his eyes.

Last night, someone from the Han Army Residence sent an urgent letter, which was handed over to Xia Houying and then delivered to Zhao Tuo personally.

At that time, Xia Houying was surprised to see the general's face, as if he had heard something extraordinary from the letter.

That kind of look was something Xia Houying had never seen in the years he had been following Zhao Tuo. He was very curious about what Han Xin said in the letter, which caused the general to show such an expression.

However, Xia Houying has a stable character and knows that there are some things that you shouldn't pry into.

He suppressed his curiosity, turned around and went down to convey the military order, and sent short soldiers to deliver the letter to the Korean military waiting area ahead.

See Xia Houying leaving.

Zhao Tuo breathed out and whispered: "I looked everywhere for you but couldn't find you. I didn't expect you to be hiding under my command. What do you want to do?"

…

The Qin army on the front line was mainly divided into two parts.

Among them, Fan Kuai led a large force to clear out the Yue people in the mountains and forests.

Cao Shen commanded another group of soldiers to guard the royal city of Luoyue, counting and guarding the captured Yue people.

Han Xin's troops were under the jurisdiction of Cao Shen and were also stationed in the royal city.

On this day, they received the military order from the rear. Once it was issued, the soldiers in all departments became excited.

"The general is coming tomorrow. The military commander Han has given orders for us to be ready to welcome him."

"We have made great achievements. We first burned the royal city and then killed King Luo. Our merits are the greatest among all the armies. The general wants to reward us this time. It is really a great honor."

"Hey, most of our military exploits can be calculated on a profit basis, and we can at least be promoted to one rank. But the general's award has nothing to do with us. Apart from Han Junhou, I am afraid that only Lord Liu Wubai and his soldiers are eligible. Summoned by the General."

"That's right. Master Liu Wubai is so brave. He took the lead and killed King Luo himself. Such bravery can be compared with General Fan Kuai."

All the soldiers were very excited about this and talked privately about the rewards they were about to receive.

Especially Xiang Ji and his soldiers.

They are the core figures in this war, and the rewards are naturally the best.

"Zhao Tuo, Zhao Tuo, as expected, you are here to die."

In the military tent, Xiang Ji was so excited that his whole body trembled.

It is said in the Art of War: Reward should never be delayed.

When soldiers have made meritorious deeds, rewards must be given promptly. Only in this way can soldiers be encouraged to serve and strive to be more courageous.

During these years of war, Zhao Tuo attached great importance to rewards and punishments. He always insisted on rewards for meritorious service and punishment for guilty.

The last time Cao Shen and others killed King Alamo of Xiou in Heituba, the news reached Zhao Tuo. He immediately rushed to Heituba from King Xiou City. After verifying his achievements, he personally summoned Mei who killed King Xiou. Kuan and other meritorious officials were rewarded.

Xiang Ji saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart, and then planned what happened today.

Everything is going according to his plan.

When Zhao Tuo arrives tomorrow, in addition to Han Xin, he and Liu Bang and several other generals will definitely be summoned to come forward, and then they will be awarded titles and monetary rewards.

That's when Xiang Yu launched a thunderous strike.

Whenever he thought of the scene where he cut Zhao Tuo's neck to avenge his ancestors, father, and the Xiang family, Xiang Ji felt the blood boiling all over his body, and he wanted to do it immediately.

However, several years of military service taught him how to keep his emotions and anger hidden. Xiang Ji barely suppressed his inner excitement and tried his best to behave normally in front of Han Xin and his colleagues.

Only when looking at Liu Bang, his eyes were a bit difficult to hide.

Liu Bang was very calm about Xiang Ji's frequent gazes.

He was as carefree as usual. Xiang Ji even heard Liu Bang joking to Peng Yue and others, saying that when he returned this time, he would marry a bride and have a fat boy, and he would name his son "Ying". To celebrate this victory.

"Brother Bang is really amazing. He is not nervous before big things, and he is still in the mood to joke with others. I really saw him right. Only strong men like Liu Bang are the ones who really do big things!"

Xiang Ji secretly sighed and admired Liu Bang more and more.

He even imitated Liu Bang and tried to make his state more relaxed.

It is a pity that Xiang Ji, a hot-blooded young man in his twenties, cannot be compared with an old man in his forties like Liu Bang. The night before Zhao Tuo came, he could not sleep day and night, and could only sleep in a daze. Squinted for a long time.

In the early morning of the second day, before the drums sounded in the camp, Xiang Ji stood up in the tent.

He strode to the tent door, opened the curtain, and looked at the sky in the distance.

The morning light is dim, this is a new day.

It was also the day that Xiang Ji had been waiting for.

"Zhao Tuo, today is the day you die!"
